With final Yellowstone episodes looming in the distance, Kevin Costner has finally spoken out about his potential return — which could happen under one condition.
Ever since the major delay ofYellowstone Season 5 Part 2, fans have been on edge waiting for what happens next. As theDutton dramamoves into the background, real-life tiffs have taken center stage — most notably between Kevin Costner and the franchise itself.
Thebeefbetween Costner and creator Taylor Sheridan has been well reported, spiraling intoHorizon: An American Saga, Costner’s separate Western project that’s due to be released in two parts this year. ThankstoET, it’s been revealed that Kevin Costner would “love” to return to Yellowstone — on one condition.
“I’d like to be able to do it but we haven’t been able to,” Costner explained. “I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we’re at five. So how it works out — I hope it does — but they’ve got a lot of different shows going on. Maybe it will. Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I’d love to do it.”
Unsurprisingly, the “comfortable” remark has got the rumor mill churning once again, linking back to earlier reports that Costner’s split from Yellowstone boiled down to plot issues with his character,John Dutton.
Costner went onto add “[Dutton] needs to be proactive in what happens and I’ve kind of had my own fantasy how [the character’s final arc] might be. But that’s Taylor’s thing. I said as much to him a while back. I had thoughts how it could happen, but we just have to see.”
